The Poppenburg is located directly on the Leine - beautifully situated. Then it goes steeply uphill towards Nordstellen to the beautiful Marienburg.

The Poppenburg was one of the old royal castles that protected the Leine Valley and thus the route to the city of Hildesheim and the area of the Bishopric of Hildesheim. The bridge near Poppenburg was first mentioned on January 13, 1251. The time when the castle was built is unknown. It was inhabited by the Poppenburg noble family. A noble family named after the Poppenburg appears in written sources from the 1130s. It apparently owned the castle as a fief of the Bishop of Hildesheim. Today the Poppenburg is used by the Diakonie Himmelsthür.
